PGA Tour World Rankings following 2014 Masters
By Josh Sanchez
Despite being forced to withdraw from the 2014 Masters Tournament, Tiger Woods has been able to hold on to his spot as the world’s No. 1 golfer. A handful of golfers had an opportunity to take over the No. 1 spot this weekend at Augusta, but they failed to capitalize on his absence.
After the tournament, the top three golfers remained the same — Woods, Adam Scott and Henrik Stenson — but Bubba Watson, who took home the green jacket, made a big splash moving up from the No. 12 spot to No. 4.

20 year old Jordan Spieth, who was knocking on the door of history, also jumped into the top ten.
Justin Rose and Zach Johnson were the two golfers pushed out of the top ten thanks to the top two finishers at Augusta.
